Hanson Fong

FONG Shui: Harmony with the Art of Posing and Lighting

 Monday, May 10, 2010 - 2 p.m.- 8 p.m.

With over 30 years practicing the Art of Photography, Hanson will demonstrate his successful techniques that apply to both portrait and wedding photography.

Balancing the Art of Lighting and Posing, Hanson will teach you how to create perfect harmony, which will allow you to handle any subject’s body size and type. The Classic 10 Poses, that Hanson mastered and pioneered, will help you analyze different body sizes and types. You will learn to recognize the poses that will result in a proportional balance of the various body sizes to each other. This technique will enable you to pose any family grouping, couple, and bride & groom. The late legendary Rocky Gunn, Hanson’s mentor and teacher, inspired Hanson’s “Flow Posing” which is acknowledged and recognized internationally. He will share with you his secret to this elegant dance of posing that is out of this world!

In addition to the hands on posing techniques, Hanson will also teach lighting and metering techniques. You will be learning how to photograph under any lighting condition; indoors and outdoors- any place, anytime. Hanson’s approach to finding the proper light outdoors is simple and uncomplicated. Proper lighting and posing helps you to create highly desirable, beautiful and timeless portraits.

The key element to being a successful photographer is to make people look great. Hanson is known for his teaching skills as well as his photographic prowess. He shares all his secrets of success with you, his students.

Program highlights include:

The Classic 10 Poses, Lighting Control, Flow Posing, Window Lighting, Group & Family Posing, Metering Techniques, and Facial Analysis
